Is that on your diet?

  I spoke to my mom today, we usually have short, meaningless conversations about nothing or just about her.  If it's kept light and short, no arguments break out and we can keep the imaginary "peace" we have.  Anywho, just to give you some insight into our conversations, I thought I'd share with you our most recent:

Me:  Hey! Just wanted to call and let you know when/where /details about our upcoming vacation. 
Mom: OOOH! Are  y'all going alone? What dates? OOH, near your dad's birthday, so y'all are all going down there together?
Me: Um, no. We're going with friends, you don't know them, but yes, we come back near Dad's birthday.  
Mom: We got wings last night for dinner and we're having Italian tonight.
Mom: I've lost 5lbs on the Medifast diet I'm doing!
Me: That's great, you weigh less than me now, you should start working out - you'll be amazed at how much you could tone
*rustling on other end of phone*
Me: What is that noise Mom? 
Mom: Oh, we got a new freezer, I'm cleaning the old one out.  We just bought ice cream, gotta put it away.  
Me: Are ice cream, wings and Italian food approved for this diet you're on? Seems pretty lenient if you ask me. 
Mom:  I am taking a few days off from it, I'll start back Monday. 
Me:*hits hand to head* Well, let me tell you about how I auditioned for a play this week...
Mom: OH, That's *enter friend's name here*, I've got to go! Love you, bye!
